The massive EPS miss signals deteriorating profitability despite revenue being in line. Monitor the August deadline for the acquisition exclusivity — a deal closure could provide a catalyst, but the earnings trajectory remains negative. The 59% sequential revenue growth in Q2 guidance is a positive but insufficient to offset the earnings disappointment.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Data I/O Corporation reported Q1 2026 EPS of -$0.21, a 425% miss versus the $0.04 consensus estimate, on revenue of $5.2M (in line with estimates). The company highlighted a 59% sequential revenue jump from Q4 2025 and extended exclusivity for a transitional acquisition to end of August, but the significant EPS miss overshadows these developments for a micro-cap stock with $30M market cap.
